It is the most important premiere in a week in which the Whitney Houston biopic arrives and ‘Broker’, Koreeda’s latest film
This week’s billboard comes with a premiere for children with the sequel to ‘Puss in Boots’, called ‘The Last Wish’, which adds to the launch last week of the fantastic ‘Little Nicolás’. For the rest, it is surprising that on this occasion no Spanish premiere reaches commercial theaters.

The sudden arrival of Grandet’s nephew, an orphaned and bankrupt Parisian dandy, turns the young woman’s life upside down.
